Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
After some near-panic issues with our Zoom meeting link, we managed to get a different Zoom meeting going and waited out a delay in email delivery to our guest speaker in Argentina. Sebastian Garcia is the creator of Telescopius, an online and app-based astronomy resource for observing and astrophotography planning. It is amazingly deep and functional and is supported only by voluntary donations. Sebastian explained its creation briefly and spent most of the time showing us the many functions and features available along with some insider tips. We were impressed! We had 14 in-person attendees and 4 via Zoom.
